Default Suppressor favorite

Looking at another can.
22RF, 17WSM, 17FB, 17 Remington, 20VT,204 Ruger, 222 and 223.
I have a 30 cal can. Just use it and go on?

I would like a smaller just for size wise, but not set in stone. One buddy said to just get a 25 caliber part for my 30 and use that.

would work and would save you time, money. Talk to the maker of the model you have.

Based on your list of cartridges if I wanted something smaller, lighter, and quieter I'd get the 6.5 version TBAC Gen2 Ultra7. For its size their Gen2 Ultra7 is not only one of, if not, lightest 7 inch cans out there but is the quietest too. TBAC used to make a 223 version of the same can but with their 6.5 version metering nearly identically in sound suppression they stopped making the 223 version awhile back and the 6.5 version is far more versatile. I have numerous TBAC cans and they make top shelf products that often the quietest and lightest cans in their class as well as their customer service is second to none.

The suppressors that have changeable end caps for different calibers tends to be more of a marketing hook than it is function. Changing the end cap to a smaller caliber seems like it should make a difference but testing has shown it does little to nothing for better sound suppression. The size of the hole in the core or baffles inside is what really matters.

I use a 30 cal Silencerco harvester model for all CF, from 20 up to 6BR. I have a Spectre and a ruger branded can for 22mag on down which is threaded 1/2x28, while all CF barrels are threaded 5/8-24. This way I can't screw the wrong can on the wrong caliber.

I'll second what B23 said.

I have the 6.5 Ultra 7 and use it on everything from .17 centerfires up to 6/284.

I have a SiCo Omega with changeable end caps and agree with B23, the end caps don't really do diddly. I leave that one on my RRA permanently. It's not as quiet as the Ultra 7, but the AR is loud no matter what you do.

Check out the YHM Turbo or Turbo K. K is light and short and reasonably priced. It may not be a 15yr old single malt, but hard to justify price differences sometimes.
Also would suggest a stand alone takedown can for rimfires.

I agree, for rimfires, up to and including 17 Hornet and 5.7x28, I'd get a good rimfire can. My top three first choices would be TBAC 22TD, Dead Air Mask 22 HD, and Silencer Central Banish 22. The TBAC 22TD and Dead Air Mask are about a toss up and are two of the quietest rimfire cans you can get. The Silencer Central Banish 22 is very close to those other two in suppression and is the lightest can on the market that's 17 Hornet & 5.7x28 rated but of those three it is also the most expensive. For the money, the TBAC 22TD is about as good as it gets.

Rimfire cans are a lot of fun, in fact, so much so that you often end up with multiple rimfire cans.

I have a Griffin Armament Optimus Micro for my small caliber stuff.
Works from .17 caliber to 22-250 rifle.
It disassembles for easier cleaning, as rimfires are exceptionally dirty.
Small and compact.

Your 30cal can will work pretty good for all of those. More toys are always nice though!

Actually my Howa 1500 in .30-06 is threaded 1/2x28, barrel is too skinny for 5/8x24, I have a Nomad-30 but also have the threaded insert for 1/2x28 for it, end caps are available for .22/.30.
